Nomar named Dodgers first baseman for at least the next 2 seasons, as he has re-signed with the Dodgers. Nomar could shift to the outfield or third base, depending on the Dodgers offseason moves.

Yeah, we have a Nomar bias, but still think that Nomar at 1b/3b, or the outfield would have been a smart short term option for the Red Sox over giving $50-60 million to J.D. Drew, who makes Nomar look like Cal Ripken. -Red Sox Nation

In the four major US professional sports, (Baseball, Basketball, Football, and Hockey), there are only seven teams whose nicknames do not end with an "S:" Basketball: The Miami Heat, The Utah Jazz, The Orlando Magic. Baseball: The Boston Red Sox, The Chicago White Sox. Hockey: The Colorado Avalanche, The Tampa Bay Lightning. Football: None.
